[quote=Anonymous]The way the Boosters defend BASIS to the hilt, although it's in an unhealthy building for kids, has a new head every year, isn't doing a good job of prepping students to play the elite college admissions game and actively turfs out half its middle schoolers (without taking responsibility for doing this) says to me that plenty of DC parents are desperate for a halfway decent middle/high school providing real rigor. That's all that's going on here. Sure, maybe 1/ 4 of the BASIS families love the place, not even 100 families. But out here in the great beyond, the rest of us a struggling to stay in the communities we love because we can't afford privates year in and year out. Lots of kids drop out because BASIS isn't so hot. Period. [/quote]
